Reborn Ancient Western Europe

Chapter 9 Floating Island

Gray is now very grateful to Beth for reminding him to subconsciously remember to cover his open mouth so as not to look too stupid.

"Breathe, breathe..." Jon reminded softly along his back.

Only then did Gray realize that he had already unconsciously held his breath, he took a breath, and put down his hand covering his mouth.Then he pulled the corner of Jon's clothes and asked incoherently, "That's...I mean...impossible...fake...eyes...illusion..."

He felt like his tongue was going to tie up, but before that, his brain must have been confused to the point of collapse.

"Your eyes are fine, what I see now is the same as yours." Jon assured: "That's true, Gray, even though I don't think it's possible, it's indeed true."

Gray couldn't even believe his own ears now. He turned his head to look at the Lawrence ship standing aside and looked at them with a smile, and asked seriously: "Tell me, what did you see?"

Lawrence looked ahead and said slowly: "You know, little Gray. Although my eyes are not very good, I can still see things that big."

He yelled at the sailors on the deck: "Anyone who is about to drop anchor and wants to go ashore, please move quickly!"

There was a huge cheer among the sailors, and several of them had already rushed to the boat tied beside the Sea Eagle.

Gray groaned and sighed, "Jon, I really don't want to believe what I'm seeing is real. It's just, it's just so unbelievably dreamy."

He felt that if Newton saw what he was seeing right now, he would probably faint from anger.This is a complete challenge to his authority on mechanics, where gravity has long been a joke.

Jon smiled and patted his head, comforting him: "Believe me, Gray, when I first saw this, my reaction would not be much better than yours now."

"I can testify to that." Lawrence laughed, patted Jon's shoulder vigorously, and said to Gray: "This kid, he almost dropped his jaw on the deck back then."

"I wouldn't believe your reaction would be much better than mine." Jon countered, and then introduced to Gray: "This island is called Coral Island on the map. But the Deimos have a more realistic Name: Floating Island."

That's right, as Jon said, what appeared in front of Gray at this moment was a huge island floating on the sea.It is real, without any support, just floating directly on the sea.Gray even saw black and white seabirds clinging to the water below the island, passing by like lightning.

It really is a very beautiful and incredible island.It has an elegant shape, somewhat similar to Mount Fuji in Japan, but with a gentler slope than that.Surrounded by green trees, the island looks like a bright emerald from a distance.And at the very top of the island, there is a small circle of light blue surrounding it, emitting light slightly.

"What is that?" Gray couldn't help asking, "What is that light?"

Jon smiled and said: "Those luminous substances are actually the eggs of coral fish. At this time of year, coral fish will rush to this place from various places in the sea, and then mate and give birth to offspring. They lay eggs on the beach near the coast. A large number of shining eggs are laid, and after the refraction of the sea water, the rays of light will be connected together. It looks as if the entire island is surrounded by rays of light."

Only then did Gray turn his attention to the surroundings of the island, only to realize that, as Jon said, not only the top, but the entire floating island seemed to be glowing.Some of those rays of light are pink, some are purple, and some are light green, intertwined together, dreamy to the point of unbelievable.

However, Gray is still interested in the circle of light at the top of the floating island.It is impossible for coral fish to go to such a high place to spawn.Maybe, that's another fish?

He asked again: "Jon, what's that light at the top, that blue light?"

Jon looked surprised, and even Lawrence gave a "huh", and they all turned to look at him with incredible expressions.

What's wrong?Gray looked at them puzzled.

"Blue light? The very top?" Jon looked at him and repeated his question.Then he looked at Lawrence: "Have you heard about this?"

Lawrence frowned and thought hard for a while, before he said uncertainly: "I seem to remember a similar legend, but that probably has nothing to do with Gray..."

"Have we arrived yet?"

Just when Jon was about to inquire further about the legend, Prince Grace and Princess Hana came to the deck at the same time.Beth followed behind them a little half a step behind, with a standard aristocratic smile on her face, which perfectly made Gray feel sore eyes.

"This is Coral Island? It's even more beautiful than I imagined." Princess Heina changed into a pure white long dress, which was cut to fit her body perfectly, outlining her slender waist and good body proportions.She looked at the sea and said lightly.

Prince Grace stood beside her, nodding in approval.

Gray began to feel ashamed of his reaction just now. The calm reaction of Prince Grace and Princess Heina made him feel like a countryman who had never seen the world.

"Why are there no other ships near Coral Island?" Princess Heina admired for a while, then asked.

"At this time, most of the boats go out to sea to catch coral fish a little farther away. But, they will all come back before dark." Beth explained, she paused, and then said: "Coral islands are coral islands. It is a place where fish reproduce, so fishing with nets is prohibited here.”

"I see." Princess Heina nodded, as if feeling a little tired, she simply greeted Grey, and then walked to the lounge to enjoy her afternoon tea.Beth blinked at Gray and followed.

Grace seemed to want to stay, he hesitated for a while, glanced at Ge Rui, and finally gave up and followed.

When they were far away, Jon bent down and whispered in his ear: "They can't see it." "Huh? You mean..." Gray looked at him in disbelief.

"Not everyone can see such a wonderful sight." Jon explained with a smile: "The coral sea area is a sea area full of God's will. Don't be surprised what happens here."

Gray was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "So, you didn't see that blue light?"

"You don't have to worry about that." Lawrence looked at the sea and said nostalgicly: "When I was young, I heard people mention this saying, saying that people who saw things on the floating island that others couldn't see, They are all loved by the gods. So, maybe, Grey, you will have an unforgettable experience on the floating island."

Jon froze for a moment and asked, "You mean, the legend about the temple?"

"Yeah, that's the one." Lawrence looked at Gray carefully, then couldn't help laughing, and said, "Anyway, Gray looks better than any girl in Deimos City, and it's hard to be spotted. Nothing strange."

Gray felt as if he had heard something strange.He thought about it for a while, and decided it would be better not to continue asking.But Lawrence seemed to have opened up the conversation box, and began to tell Gray about the legend.

"Among the older generation of sailors, the legend that the devil is sealed in the coral sea area has always been circulated. It is said that the floating island exists to seal the devil. On the floating island, the god also built a temple for Suppress the devil and prevent it from returning to people's homes to make trouble again."

"Guarding this temple is an extremely handsome knight. Since the day the temple was built, he has been staying in the temple on the top floor of the floating island, and has never left half a step. Day after day, every day Year after year passed. Suddenly one day, the knight saw a beautiful girl picking up shells on the beach from a high place. He fell in love with her at first sight, and immediately fell in love deeply."

What a bad drama...

Gray glanced at Lawrence helplessly, thinking that with his rough appearance, he might actually have the exquisite heart of a young girl.

"The knight really wants to talk to the girl, but he can't leave the temple, and the girl only picks up shells on the beach, and never climbs to the top of the floating island. So in his hard thinking, he came up with an idea. He lit The sapphire lamp in the center of the temple made the whole temple emit a beautiful blue light, which successfully aroused the girl's curiosity. One night, the girl secretly boarded the top floor of the floating island to have a look Exactly. Then..."

He paused, touched his chin and thought for a long time, and finally looked at Jon for help: "What's going on next? Why can't I remember all of a sudden?"

Jon shook his head helplessly, and continued: "Then the girl also fell in love with the knight deeply, and voluntarily stayed on the floating island forever for the knight. In the end, they received God's blessing and were taken to another world by God."

"That's right, so if you see things that others can't see on the floating island, maybe you have received the gift of God." Lawrence warned half-jokingly: "So, Gray must not Don't go up to check secretly by yourself, you won't be able to come back."

Gray turned his head, pretending he didn't hear.

By this time, the sky had begun to get a little dark.And the circle of soft light surrounding the floating island gradually became brighter.Even the feathers of the seabirds flying nearby are dyed with a beautiful color.Gray looked at these with fascination, feeling as if he had fallen into an incredible dream.

"I still can't believe it's real," Gray whispered involuntarily.

Lawrence made a kind mocking sound, he glanced at the sea level again, turned back to Gray and said: "We can go to the island when it is completely dark, and then you can verify its authenticity yourself .”

"Why do you have to wait until dark?" Gray asked.

"Coral fish is a kind of fish that come out during the day and stay at night. They lay eggs on the beach in the shallow sea during the day, and then return to the sea at night." Jon explained to Gray: "In order not to scare the eggs that are laying Reef fish, no boats will approach the beach during the day."

"That's right, the coral fish are protected by the gods in this sea area." Captain Lawrence continued: "Those ships that don't obey the regulations are said to be sunk to the bottom of the sea by the wrath of the gods."

Gray was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly thought of a question that made him feel very embarrassed.

"Well, how do we get to the island?" Climbing up with a rope?Gray thought about the last sentence in his heart, but finally he didn't say it.

"Of course I climbed up with a rope." Jon looked at him and said with a smile.

……is that a lie?

"Hahahaha." Captain Lawrence laughed and said, "I said, Jon, you really still remember what I lied to you back then, you will be hated by good women if you are so obsessed. Don't worry, Gray, this matter It will be easier than you think. Don't really go out of such a stupid thing like Jon did..."

Jon somewhat hastily intercepted Lawrence's words. He looked at the sea and said suddenly, "The fishing boat has returned."

Indeed, on the level of the sea to the east, there appeared a ship with full sails.It is slightly smaller than the Haiying, but its speed is faster, and it is close to the Haiying in the blink of an eye.

Gray was startled, he clearly saw the slender figure standing against the wind on the bow deck of the oncoming ship.The black hair, as deep as the night, fluttered gently in the sea breeze.

He stood there, looking at Gray quietly, and then a smile that was inevitable was raised on his face.
